The flat silhouette is a slipped-on shoe that is made using [laser-cut Bovine leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dime-x-paraboot-thiers) materials in a neutral tan colorway. Once wearers slip on the show, it unveils a honeycomb-like pattern that is cut around the rounded toe section for a breathable feel this season. The cuts run down the mid-panel area of the silhouette. Branding details can be found stamped on the leather vamp to the single stitch of the heel section of the slip-on. Rounding out the design is the looped stitching that brings together the leather sole unit and the upper together.
